What I’m not doing right now is sharing ALL that I’m thinking/doing w a business strategy w my “advisors” – it’s the deep down thoughts that I sometimes fear others will think just too crazy/unproductive that I don’t share …. Reality is that I need to get them all out – not to be gross but I think of it as “throwing them up” – By not doing so …. it’s kind of like being selfish in a business sense…. imho …. not giving others the opportunity to “guide” me accordingly …

Just by sharing this with you right now….. I’m moving in the right direction 🙂

Liz, I think of “writing up” – kind of like a “business journalling” 🙂 – me… probably will do a video summary every nite … thanks for sharing your truth! 🙂 helps me….

Hi Cate!
Getting our ideas out is important to progress … otherwise we end up questioning ourselves. That leads us to lose confidence. People sense when we don’t trust our own thinking. Get those ideas out where you can see them, play with them, and keep or reject them. 🙂

What I’m not doing is getting my marketing calendar in place for my own company. Hitting deadlines and doing my best for clients mean we come last. No calendar means no personalization and results in mediocre messaging.

The other day I was having a conversation with a friend. We were sharing stories from days gone by about each of our lives. We hopped from one story to the next — based on what each of us were sharing. It was really an incredible discussion as we were each learning from the other […]

Everyone feels lost sometimes. I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t been lost in their head at one time or another — even those folks overachieving all over the Internet. We all find those moments that we wonder about who we are and what we want. But the question is not whether everyone gets […]

I felt the more embarrassing fear of people’s judgment. When I decided it was time to write again, I avoided the computer for the longest time. On the rare occasion that I managed to sit myself down to write, I’d get caught up answering email or reading articles around the web, not doing writing I […]
